Reserve Samsung's New Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 and Get a $50 Credit
Samsung's latest Galaxy Z foldable phones are soon to be unveiled at the company's upcoming Unpacked event, which takes place July 9. But you don't have to wait to lock in your next device; you can reserve one now at Samsung.com and earn a $50 Samsung credit.
It's not yet clear just how many new phones we'll be getting -- will there be more than the usual two? -- but Samsung has been teasing Ultra-grade and slim foldable phones for this launch. Samsung Newsroom posts have pointed to a more "powerful camera" and "AI-powered tools," and have also noted that its "newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet."
So, it's possible Samsung could unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7 and then the Z Fold Ultra, or whatever it ends up calling these devices.
But wait, there's more! There are also rumors surrounding a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE phone. Leaks show renders of the rumored device, which appears similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but it's possible the phone could swap out the Snapdragon chip for an Exynos processor to keep that price down.
Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see what Samsung has up its sleeve. But if you're eager to get your hands on one of the latest devices, you can head to Samsung's site to reserve your future phone and score that $50 Samsung credit. You can also enter a sweepstakes for the chance to win an additional $5,000 credit. These offers are only available on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung app.

I actually prefer budget phones to flagships — but there's one thing phone makers need to fix
I'm a big fan of phones will small price tags. That's partly a reflection of my inherent cheapness — you'll have to use a crowbar to pry a dollar bill free from my wallet — but it's also an acknowledgment of a simple truth: the very best cheap phones can do nearly everything a flagship device can do these days. That's not to say you won't have to make compromises in some areas. Screamingly fast processors are generally reserved for more expensive phones, though unless you're regularly using demanding apps or graphically intensive games, you'll likely be just fine with the good-enough chipsets found in cheaper phones. More expensive models also benefit from better camera hardware and more extensive AI support, but there are enough lower-cost phones that hold their own in camera comparisons to make that trade-off less noticeable. As for AI, well, if you consider that feature a must-have for your phone, feel free to spend big on the latest flagships. For most people, though, AI-powered capabilities are a nice-to-have, not an essential part of the smartphone experience. That said, there remains one area where cheaper phones are clearly at a disadvantage. And it simply doesn't need to be that way. Cheap phones need more extensive software support from their device makers. That's especially true in this era where people want to hold on to their phones for longer, for reasons relating to both budgets and the environment. Our pick for the best cheap phone available right now — Google's Pixel 9a — stands out as a model of what phones under $500 could offer their users. Buy a Pixel 9a, and Google promises to deliver seven years of software and security updates. Notably, that's the same level of support you'd enjoy if you paid up for a flagship Pixel. But the Pixel 9a is clearly an outlier when it comes to software support. Scour the other sub-$500 phones we recommend, and you're not going to find any matching Google's pledge. Phone Price Software updates Security updates Google Pixel 9a $499 7 years 7 years Samsung Galaxy A36 $399 6 years 6 years iPhone 16e $599 5 years (unofficial) 5 years (unofficial) OnePlus 13R $599 4 years 6 years Nothing Phone 3a Pro $459 3 years 6 years Nothing Phone 3a $379 3 years 6 years Moto G Power 2025 $299 2 years 3 years Moto G 2025 $199 2 years 3 years The Nothing Phone 3a and Nothing Phone 3a Pro are both fine low-cost alternatives to the Pixel 9a, particularly when you consider that Nothing equips its phones with dedicated telephoto lenses. But both devices are only set to receive 3 years of Android updates, along with an additional 2 years of security support. Samsung's Galaxy A series of midrange devices come the closest to matching what Google offers Pixel 9a buyers. A Galaxy A36 phone receives 6 years of software and security updates, as well the Galaxy A56 when that phone ships in the U.S. later this year. (It's currently available in other parts of the world with that six-year guarantee, though.) Motorola brings up the rear, as its latest Moto G phones feature 2 years of Android updates and a third year of security support. That's actually a step up from the 2024 Moto G series, which only supported one Android update. Expand your search to phones that cost a little more than $500, and you'll see some more extensive support — though Google still sets the pace. The $599 iPhone 16e gets the same access to iOS updates as Apple's other iPhone 16 models, which should mean at least 5 years, though recent iPhone models have been able to count on longer support. The OnePlus 13R — a terrific midrange model — limits Android updates to 4 years, though you do get six years of security support with that phone. If you're buying a cheaper phone, it's likely because you don't want to spend $799 or more on a smartphone, which you'd have to do by turning to a flagship. But when phone makers cap the software support on a device, you're not getting as much value from your low-cost purchase as you should. Let's say you buy a Moto G 2025 — and why not since you get epic battery life, a stylish design and surprisingly good camera performance in a $199 device. But you'll also run into Motorola's limited software support, which means Android 17 is the last update you'll be able to count on. Maybe having the latest OS isn't as much of a priority to you, but even if you hold on to the Moto G until security updates run out, you'll still be looking for a new phone by 2028. And those seemingly low-cost purchases start to add up. There's more than just frugality at stake here. Even with phone makers using more recycled materials for their devices, it's generally a more earth-friendly approach to space out your phone upgrades even longer than you are now. Extending software support is a seemingly easy way to build more sustainable devices. I think phone makers are starting to recognize this. As noted Motorola's 2025 Moto G phones have better support than their predecessors, and that's not the only company moving in the right direction. Samsung used to cut off support for its Galaxy A phones at 4 years instead of 6. The OnePlus 13R's software support policy is more generous than what OnePlus offered for the OnePlus 12R. And both the Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro get an extra 2 years of security support compared to the Nothing Phone 2a. And Nothing has already confirmed that the Nothing Phone 3 is getting 5 years of Android updates plus seven years of security support. These are welcome changes, and I hope to see the trend continue with future phone releases. There should certainly be clear distinctions between flagship phones and more affordable models. But how long you're able to keep your phone shouldn't be one of those differences.

In any event, the renders give us a good look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7 from various angles, including the cover display and rear cover. We also get a look at the folded device, albeit from the hinge side. This hints at a much thinner form factor.

Tesla Makes 2 Big Moves for Its Future
Tesla set its sights on the world's third-largest auto market. Tesla's robotaxi ambitions kicked off with a pilot service in Austin. If successful long-term, robotaxis could multiply Tesla's current valuation. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › It's been a fairly wild ride for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) in 2025. With sales falling in key markets, a brutal price war in China, and consumer backlash against CEO Elon Musk dipping his toes in the political pool, there's been plenty of bad news to digest. Pushing that aside for a second, however, let's take a look at the electric vehicle (EV) maker's recent moves to boost sales and set up its robotaxi future. Tesla's setting up to make a move in the world's third-largest automotive market as the EV maker aims to offset falling sales around the globe by opening showrooms in India next month. Already, Tesla Model Ys are arriving in India, shipped from Tesla's China factory. While this might seem like a sudden move, it's actually the culmination of many years of considering entering the market, and pulling back due to disagreements over tariffs and manufacturing. That seemed to change when Musk met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the U.S. last February. This won't be an easy task for Tesla, however. Due to tariffs the Model Y is expected to go on sale in India around $56,000 before taxes and insurance. This compares to $44,990 for the same model in the U.S. market, which drops to $37,490 with tax credits applied -- for however long that lasts. Further, India's EV share of its automotive market is just over 5%, and premium cars represent less than 2% market share. It's a good move for Tesla, and a logical one, especially considering China's automotive production overcapacity problem -- although it's less a problem for Tesla -- and sending vehicles from China to India helps. But investors would also be wise to temper growth expectations; the market isn't exactly ripe for the picking when it comes to expensive EVs. After years of promising, the moment has finally arrived for Tesla's robotaxi ambitions. Over the weekend Tesla launched a small pilot robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which some believe is the beginning of a much more lucrative business thesis for the automaker. "We attended Tesla's robotaxi launch ... and got the opportunity to take multiple rides in a robotaxi," Wedbush Securities said in a research note June 22, according to Automotive News. "Overall, these robotaxis exceeded our expectations and offered a seamless and personalized travel experience that has lit the spark for autonomous driving." For investors, the development of Tesla's robotaxi business could define its future. Already Tesla's market capitalization is over $1.1 trillion, more than many of its automotive competitors combined, and Musk has said the company's pivot to AI, robotics, and robotaxis will multiply that valuation several times. Tesla's robotaxi pilot included short drives in a limited geofenced area for a flat fee of $4.20, and while the vehicles were fully autonomous there was a safety monitor in the cars for safety precautions. Considering some of the missteps and problems of its competition, the company was probably wise to promote safety first. The robotaxi pilot might have been small, and Tesla opening showrooms in India won't move the needle in the near term, but these were both smart moves for Tesla and its investors. Being able to export vehicles from China amid a brutal price war and overcapacity gives the company flexibility, and keeping investors enticed with a potentially lucrative robotaxi future was important. While there's plenty of bad news for Tesla investors to digest, don't overlook the small positive moves its made recently as well.
